Funny!
In 1989 Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Malaysia participated in Aisa youth cup tournament. Chacha was the captain of Bangladesh team.
It is funny that both Javed Omar and Aminul played in that tournament and their age difference is more than 7 years. That means if Aminul was 19 years old at that time Javed was 12 years old and played in that tournament!
DOB:
Javed Omar : 25th November 1976
Aminul Islam : 2nd February 1968
Source of one of the best game of that tournament.

Javed Omar was probably born in 1972 -1973. I know that for a fact...part of Nirman School Cricket history.

WHy dont the players give their real date of births to cricinfo and all these other places that give out the ages. It is ridiculous. How hard is it for these people to ask them their age. JO looks about 30 or over.

Bourny;
There is a sad piece of colonial history behind this. At birth, people in Bangladesh don't get a birth certificate in general and a live birth is not recorded in any government record. That is where all the trouble starts.
So the birthdates come official really when kids start to go to school and the birth date gets into any document is at the time that someone appears for Secondary school exams. In the colonial era under "british raj", the only form of social respect that people could earn was through a job in the British government. Needless to say that the country was systematically robbed of any industrial growth over 200 years or so. The common catch that most bangali folks were denied a job if they were over a certain threshold age (I can't remember the age). As there were factors as lack of opportunity, poverty etc. to deal with people really never got a regular ride through the higher studies system. Interestingly, parents could control (and scholls as well) the date of birth factor, the bad habit still haunts us. Even if parents don't do it nowadays, the schools mess it up when they fill out the forms for kids taking their Secondary school finals.
